Then you get the Khan and Bloodwine emotes, the automated defense turret (which is pretty cool against Romulan plasma torpedoes, and those Orion power leeching ships), and the phaser turret satellite, and any unadvertised Cpoints on top of that, "for free".

It's not a bad deal... but I already own most of that stuff thanks to the DDE from Direct2Drive. The only package I'd still be interested in, is the Collector's Edition.. and really that'd only be for the artbook and the pin.

If anyone has friends that plan on playing during the F2P in Jan you might want to tell them to pick this up.
Not only will they get a head start of the game but they'll get the two free Cstore ships Cryptic is giving away right now on holodeck.
They'll also score any Winter prizes they happen to win. So even a new player would benefit from picking this up as well.

Not to mention any free ships they may get from levelling during the first 30 days.

Good points I'd completely forgot about the free Connie/Raptor, and the Winter event.

I just bought it and received 500C store points. But I did not get or have yet to find any Light Phaser Satellite Turret.

EDIT: After STO installed via Steam I had to right click get CD key and add that to my account.

No, you do not have to reinstall the game via Steam if you don't want to.

Go to the STO page in the Library section of your Steam client. Down the right hand side there'll be a link label "CD Key", there should be two CD Keys in there, one for STO DDE, one for the phaser turret.
